Darkness Or Me

The world falls to ruin, Darkness rules, Blood is shed that is innocent, And screams echo the night. Silver light, Red stains, Soundless screams, Quiet laughter. Screams shatter the night, The daylight does not come, The moon hides behind clouds, And so the darkness rules over all. I purr into the night, I cannot see though, But I can hear you, I can hear your ragged breathes. You cannot speak, You are afraid, Afraid of the dark, Afraid of me. You cannot hear me, Nor see me, But you know I am there, As I am everywhere. An orange flame aluminates the night, A silhouette appears, A single shadow in the flames, You scream. No one hears, No one is around, The fire dies, But I am still there. And I hunt my next victim, Heedless of screams, Heedless of blood, And I purr into the darkness. I am a shadow, A figure of the dark, Light does not touch me, & I travel further into darkness. I hunt by dark, Hide by day, I watch my prey in shadow, Waiting to strike. I move on, A simple, silent shadow, Unheard, Quiet & deadly. I do not care for the light, But I love to listen to fire-light stories, Of the fear of darkness, Of the fear of me.
